An Extra Session

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-TSpecal Telegram
to the BEE.l-The talk about an extra ses-
sion of congress is renewed, hut chiefly by
advocates of tariff reduction, who think that
the country demands relief from taxation
and the release of good deal of money
locked up thereby in the treasury. For parti-
san reasons democratic politicians generally
will oppose the Idea, because an extra ses-
sion would involve an additional expense
for which the democratic party would be
held responsible, and then there Is respOn-
sibility about an extra session which demo
Gratis do Lot cherish.

Models For the Big Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-TSpccal Tee-
gram to the BEE. I'm reply to an inquiry
by correspondent respecting the report of
the board to examine plans and models for
the new 6,00O ton steel armored ships, which
was submitted some weeks ago, Secretary
Whitney said that the matter is not yet in
shape to be given to the public. Members OF
the board have been extremely reticent re-
specting the result of their deliberations, but
enough has leaked out to justify the belief
that the report is one of disagreement and
that Secretary Whitney is in aquandary. 1t
withhold the report to await some sugges-
tions from him. 1t is said that certain mem
bers OF the board, including its president,
Captain Ramsay, re lard the English de-
signs and models as superior to any of the
others, while Shield Wilson. OF New York,
and Edward Burgess, of Boston, two civilian
members, take contrary view.

A Beiligerant Claimant.

WASHINGTON, May 90 Special Telegram
to the BEE. THE state department has been
In state of seige for several days past. To
day there are number of the clerks and
other employees who are armed to the teeth
in expectation of hostile demonstration by
a claimant who demands the Intervention of
of this government in little affair that he
has in Portugal. Some time ago man who
said that his name was Thuler visited the
department and stated that he had a valid
claim against the consul-general at Lisbon,
Mr.. Lewis. Thuler said that his profess ion
was that OF an actor in circus, and that his
chief business consisted in placing a
paving stone on his head while another
He asserted that he had been connected
with circus in Lisbon, and that
being unable to collect his salary from the
managers of the show, he had appealed to
lected the money due to him, but he had not
turned it over. He visited the department a
number OF times, and insisted that Governor
Porter should compel Lewis to pay over the
learned by the department that Thuler had
evidently been affected by the paving stone
operations. and while in Lisbon he had on
one occasion entered the ring and had begun
volvers. In consequence he was looked
upon as crank and no attention was paid
to his demands. Thuer, after many days,
grew tired of this system in the state
department and at last he determined that
his claims should receive attention. Yester-
day he called on Governor Porter again and
insisted upon an immediate compliance with
his request. TO enforce his demands, it is
said, he pulled out pistol and threatened
that unless a letter was Immediately written
to MIR. Lewis he would shoot everyone IN the
office. His method was effective and the
letter was Immediately written. He declined
to leave the building, however, until the
day orders were issued to the messengers not
to admit him again under any circumstances.
But II he comes with loaded pistol in hand
ne will probably force his way to the room of
Assistant Secretary Porter once more.

swan Brothers, A.sIynm,nt.

1t became known here early yesterday
morning that late last Saturday night
swan Brothers, the well known firm of
live stock dealers, consisting of Alexander
d. and Thomas Swan, had made an as
slEnment of all property of the firm, and
ot individual members of the firm, for the
benefit of their creditors, without any pre-
fernent. The liabilities are not vet accu
rately determined, but it is learned from
the best authority that the assets of the
hrm will be largely in excess of the liabiIi
ties.
Swan Brothers have been doing an e1-
tensive business throughout the West,
and up to this time have met their en-
gagements promptly and enjoyed the
highest degree of public confidence and
credit.
The direct cause of this suspension is
due to the action by attachment brought
against A, H. Swan by the German Saw
ings bank of Davenport, Ia, on a note
which had been signed by MI. Swan as
security, and when no ultimate loss could
occur, because of the bank being fully
protected by property OF the principal.
This action, however, caused creditors
not advised of the real facts to be-
come alarmed, and many claims were
presented against the firm not yet
due and for which payment
had been provided at maturity; but these
now demanded immediate settlement.
Alex. Swan was at the time in Europe
and had nc notice that such action was
contemplated on the part of the bank and
no opportunity was given to protect him
self against it. This caused a run upon
the firm in the absence of its managing
member, which was met to the extent o.
SS5 900, when it was decided to suspend
in order to protect their property from
sacrifice and place all their creditors up
on an equal basis.
Creditors here and some elsewhere
heard from have expressed a desire tina
every indulgence should be given to the
firm in the adjustment of their large
business.
The assignment is in no way connected
with the business of the Swan Land and
Cattle company, and will involve no Other
interests than those mentioned. Alex.
Swan himself stated last evening that the
suspension is in no way due to his large
cattle interests in Wyoming. which are in

preparing for their game of billiards and
while their faces were turned in the op-

streets Of the city yesterday forenoon and
in the afternoon gave a performance at
their mammoth e N which had been put

The performing of the trained horses was
very remarkable indeed, and it can truly
be said that nothing equal to it has been
witnessed in Cheyenne heretofore. There
will be another performance given this

AN 1. o. q. f. CANTON
Organized In Cheyenne--Its Omcers.
Members, Prospects, Etc.

THE LEADER devotes a little space this
morning TO an account of the formation of
a new quasi military organization in Chey-
enne.
The new organization, which is termed
a canton" is simply the military branch
OF the |. o. o. F.. but in addition thereto
takes higher rank in the order than either
the lodge or encampment and its mem
bers are those who have taken certain
degrees in the order without which they
would not be leRible as members of the
canton, The order in which the differ
ent branches rank are first the lodge, sec
ond the encampment and third the canton.
The canton branch Of the order is one
to be found in nearly place where the or
binary lodges are to be found, their mem
bers being termed p~atriarchs. The head
quarters of the patriarch army is at Louis
vile, j. G. Underwood being the ~lieuten-
ant general in chief command, and the
whole country being included in his com
mand, is sub-divided into divisions,
Wyoming being in what is called the mil
itary division of the lakes Judge w. L.

members of the Cheyenne canton on

casion. While there are but t~wenty-one
